EHR versus EMR
The terms Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) are usually used interchangeably these days and I've basically decided to stop worrying about it. I used to use EMR but now mainly say EHR. I've figured it's kind of a like the shift from Disease Management to Care Management --takes the edge off by shifting to a more benign --if less descriptive-- term.But I do cringe when EHR is used interchangeably with Personal Health Record (PHR), as I often do.In any case, Software Advice has an excellent column explaining the difference and documenting the confusion.
